Do you know what country the car was shipped to? Some years/plants it is listed on the buck tag

From the hip I guess it was a metal shipping or exterior protectant for harsh conditions or someone paid for extra protection for its ocean voyage

My ?67 fastback was exported to Belgium from new, on the Marti report it says it had Tectyl treatment. Is that the same as Protex or a different thing? and what exactly was Tectyl treatment?
Thanks.

I've never heard of "that", so I looked it up on duckduckgo dot com - nothing that related to undercoating (my initial thoughts) but the car is 57 years old and products "disappear" over time.
